problem #2

Passat R-Line 2.0L 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 117,000 miles

Really frustrating, no codes showing prior to issue and even with issue, no transmission related codes. This is coming at the worst possible time as I am getting married at the end of the month and now i feel like i am drowning.

Passat SE With Technoligy 2.2L Tsi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 147 miles

Always hesitates upon acceleration on highways. Dealer Service Dept said that is one of the fallacies with this engine. There is no "fix".
